Combining 3+ decades of outreach work with being a full time creative/author/performing and visual artist, has allowed me to see success in doing this work with incarcerated young people, nyc homeless population, lgbtq youth, and low performing students. The implementation of this community building initiative in areas that are most impacted by crime, would increase academic performance and encourage creativity amongst high risk young people, lower the number of youthful offenders, decrease the overall crime rate in the community, and produce more culturally creative, forward thinking members of the community. \n\n</div></dd><dt name=\"text-1695292616659-0\">Write the zipcode that best represents your New York City community:</dt><dd id=\"text-1695292616659-0\" name=\"text\">\n\n<div>10030\n\n</div></dd></dl></xml>"]
